I am able to successfully use Cairo on Win9x if I render to an image buffer first. The only thing that doesn't work is the text rendering (this is because it uses the Unicode GetGlyphOutlineW functions exclusively). So I decided to give FreeType a try. There are some issues using Cairo+FreeType on Win32, but long story short - I can successfully use Cairo+FreeType on Win9x when rendering to an image buffer with no problems. When trying to use FreeType on Win32, it looks like the FreeType module in Cairo wants to compile in some fontconfig stuff. However, fontconfig has no Win32 port that I can find. Also, fontconfig seems to be totally separate from the FreeType code, and unnecessary in every way on Win32, it is only mixed into the same source files. To solve that problem, I just #if 0...#endif'd the fontconfig code and now the FreeType module compiles on Win32 without a hitch.</blockquote><div> Right, it compiles...  But does it work? behdad  </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> So, I propose that the fontconfig specific code be wrapped up in a separate cairo feature #define so that it can be compiled separately from the FreeType code. With this in place, everyone should be able to use Cairo on Win9x as long as they render to an image buffer first and then blit that to a Windows HDC. Any chances of getting a separate cairo feature #define for fontconfig?
